Hi Gianni,
There are tons of different career opportunities for business majors. You can emphasis in accounting and work towards becoming an accountant. You can emphasis in management and work towards managing a company. You can emphasis in economics, business administration, finance, etc. Honestly, the possibilities are endless. Along with this, if you focus in one area of business and you want to change your emphasis, it's not too difficult. For an example, I started with an emphasis in business administration and was able to relatively easily transition to an emphasis in accounting. There are plenty of different opportunities to explore as a business major. I wish you the best of luck!

Hi Gianni,
Firstly looking at the term "business" it an organization or entity that provide goods and service to customer or client in exchange for payments or other forms of compensation agreed. Having a degree in business helps build your mind in the business world, building your financial status and coaching you about profit and loss In all areas of life ,in our Nations today all revolves around business activities, having a degree helps gives a higher paying government or private jobs as HR,HSE, accountant, administrator sales manager etc but majorly putting in your mind to be in the owner ship of your own race as a business tycoon creating your own means of survival, just like owners of Amazon,facebook, Tesla etc.

Hi Gianni!
With a business degree, the world is wide open for you. There are many exciting career paths where your degree will come in handy. Of course, companies like Verizon, Samsung, and Google are always on the lookout for people with business skills in areas like accounting, HR, operations, and finance. But did you know that restaurants and schools need these skills too? They're not just for chefs or teachers. A business career offers endless opportunities because the skills you gain are valuable everywhere. From communication and leadership to time management and decision-making, these are tools you can use in any job.
Plus, big companies like Verizon have so many different roles to explore. I started as an administrative assistant and now I'm an associate director. A friend of mine began as a field technician, switched to marketing, and eventually became the chief of staff for a Vice President. You can achieve anything you set your mind to, and your business degree will give you a solid start for whatever path you choose!

Hi Gianni,
There are a lot of different options/paths you can explore, it depends on what you really enjoy learning and what you are passionate about in the business space. Typical paths maybe finance, consulting, accounting, supply chain, and marketing. As you go to college, I would also recommend taking classes that you might be interested in and not sure if that translates to a career, and being involved on campus across things you may be passionate in. Ultimately, you'll want to marry your passion with your business degree and find the intersection there for where you land in your career.
